Hi,

I think that we can add an option to bound the results to the current viewport. That option would be passed to nominatim or any other search engine.

Personally, I would prefer the search bounded by default, but users could change it to "everywhere" to see additional results.

Regards,

J. Gustavo

    If you type in 'Starbucks' in the search box, then you just get
    objects named that way. No difference with searching for, say Berlin.

    Now, if you type 'cafes' in the search box, then you are probably
    looking for all amenity=cafe and that is a POI search. It's true
    that this particular query doesn't work on osm.org <http://osm.org>.
    You have to
    additionally specify a place, e.g. 'cafes in Poughkeepsie' actually
    returns the one Starbucks in town.



if I search for
"Starbucks in Holland" I get not hit, neither for
"Starbucks in the Netherlands"
"Starbucks in Netherlands"
"Starbucks in Amsterdam"

but "starbucks, Netherlands" yields a lot of results (there's even a
restaurant among them). Btw., also "starbucks, Holland" leads to a lot
of results (not sure if they are the sama, they are in different sorting
order at least). You can even omit the comma, but you shouldn't add an
"in" because this will lead to no results.

Cheers,
Martin
